Humanity + @ Caltech: Speaker/Organizer Contact Info

Dec 04 2010 | comment(s)

The Humanity + @ Caltech conference kicked off this morning in Pasadena with a dynamic group of speakers, discussing how humanity is being defined by technology, media, and by us, the active participants.

(I'll be blogging about the content a bit later today.)

You can find me on Twitter @AndreaKuszewski and on facebook.

Following this public appearance, were two very strong reactions. One was overwhelmingly positive. The other was overwhelmingly negative and critical—and a lot of it came from scientists and science bloggers.

I'm going to be honest here. I have a bone to pick with science.

A week or so ago on Twitter, I tweeted this:

Based on some of the responses I got, I decided to probe a little further. I wanted to see if I was in the minority in my opinion, or if others felt the same way. Apparently, I'm not alone.
